One more win against data centers in PA! Montour County unanimously denied a request to rezone more than 800 acres from agricultural to industrial, which would have paved the way for a data center.

Montour County commissioners in Pennsylvania unanimously denied Talen Energy's request to rezone more than 800 acres from agricultural to industrial, blocking a proposed data center and power plant expansion. The decision followed months of community opposition from residents concerned about environmental harm, increased power bills, and loss of farmland. This is a notable example of local government upholding community interests against data center development pressure.
